Riot ditching Summoner names for ‘seamless’ identity across LoL, VALORANT, others

League of Legends players have been connected to their Summoner names for as long as the game has been around. Starting later next month, however, Riot Games is going to be getting rid of Summoner names in favor of a more consistent way for players to identify themselves across all of its games. 

Starting on Nov. 20, League players will wave farewell to their Summoner names, as Riot will make Riot IDs the main way to display your name in the company’s games. You won’t need to do anything on your end, as the change will go into effect automatically on Nov. 20, and when you log in to the client of any Riot game, you’ll see your Riot ID on display.
